Visit Cisco Live Virtual on Wednesday, September 7th at 10am Pacific to view the live TechWiseTV Workshop “SAP and the Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS)”. The Cisco Unified Computing System serves as an ideal server platform for SAP since it provides a unique Intel Xeon processor-based industry-standard infrastructure for enterprise-critical applications such as SAP. The Cisco UCS platform offers stateless computing capabilities with dynamic server provisioning, unified fabric, and comprehensive management across both physical and virtual environments for reduced total cost of ownership (TCO). When you combine the UCS platform with Tidal Intelligent Automation software for SAP, you now have a safe, secure, platform that is protected from within the platform itself. As a result the Cisco UCS platform is quickly becoming the server platform of choice for mission-critical solutions from SAP. Experts will be available for live Q&A.

Access is free. Attendees to Cisco Live Virtual can access over 1,600 keynotes, super sessions and technical sessions, as well as network with peers, visit our World of Solutions, and play games.

I’ve spent the majority of my time last week mixing it up with the record-breaking crowd of over 15,000 customers, partners, press, analysts, and other Cisco enthusiasts and it was truly gratifying to feel the positivity generated by the basket of Catalyst switching innovations we announced at the show (please take a look at my previous post for details). Here’s a rundown of the highlights:

Catalyst 6500 – The most widely deployed modular switch gets a big refresh and is poised to take on another decade of challenges

Kumar Srikantan, VP of Marketing for the Scalable Networks Business Unit, discusses the motivation behind the new enhancements made to Cisco’s flagship networking solution, the Catalyst 6500, and its impact to customers. Watch his interview at Cisco Live – The Vibe Extra.

Listen in as Cisco’s CTO, Padmasree Warrior, summarizes the new product additions in her keynote.

And, from a customer perspective, Ed Wilson, network test engineer and system design specialist from Penn State University, describes his experience with the new Catalyst 6500 products.
